ID9.12 Report on Winter School 2009

Abstract

The third TENCompetence Winter School took place on February 1-6, 2009 in Innsbruck (http://www.tencompetence.org/node/167). It was conceived as an intense training and collaboration event on the core topics related to the TENCompetence project, building the European Network for lifelong competence development. The first two TENCompetence Winter Schools received very positive feedback from the attendees, and the current event built on this success and the gained reputation. The theme of this event was “Competence Management in Learning Networks”. The programme included lectures and hands-on sessions from leading experts in the field. The organizers offered space for interactive sessions, informal discussions, group work, and student presentations. A main ambition was to stimulate emergence of communities of practice and learning networks as well as to support joint research opportunities. PhD students and other interested people were invited to participate and contribute to the creation of an exciting learning experience.
